The Sovereign Host

The Sovereign Host is the most commonly worshiped pantheon of deities in Khorvaire with nearly half of the continent worshiping them in some capacity. Most followers worship the Host as a whole, offering prayers to different deities in different situations. Clerics are often devoted to the entire pantheon instead of a specific patron deity. The religion consists of two separate pantheons, the Sovereigns, who consist of the main pantheon and the Dark Six, a collection of evil aligned deities that have been cast out of the Host.

The Sovereigns

The Sovereigns consist of the good aligned deities that most people in Khorvaire place their faith in. Farmers across the nations all pray to Arawai for a bountiful harvest, soldiers pray to Dol Arrah for glory and survival in combat, and kings and queens ask for Aureon's wisdom to flow through them as they made decisions that shape their nations. Many churches have their own particular customs and focuses for different deities but despite their differences they accept that they have a greater change of affecting Khorvaire by working together.
